Wedding
Planner
What to look for when
selecting an ethical Wedding Planner:
The first point to hit
on when it comes to talking with a wedding planner
is what type of payment they accept. Never assume
that they will take credit cards. Some of them do
not. Ask about a payment schedule so you will have
an idea of payments before signing a contract. Its
standard in this industry that all fees are paid in
full before the wedding takes place. Find out
exactly what a wedding planner does (job title, full
description of services) and decide if you feel you
need one.
-
Look
for a company that fully discloses their
schedule of fees.
-
Look
for a company that listens to your ideas fully
before offering their expertise.
-
Look
for a company that is professional, organized,
tasteful and courteous to your wishes. This is
about your wedding not the planner's creative
knack.
-
Look
for a company that will work within your budget.
Planners come in all shapes, sizes and price
ranges. More expensive does not always mean
better quality. However, inexpensive does not
always mean better either. Look for someone that
you have a good connection with and feel
comfortable.
-
A
professional wedding planner can make your
dreams come true, no matter your budget. They
will control all aspects of your wedding
including food, service, music, wait staff,
parking, and even a carriage ride in the park if
that's on your list.
-
Find
reputable wedding planning vendors. Check out
the Association of Bridal Consultants website
for options. Always check out credentials and
references.
-
A
professional wedding planner will help you
prioritize your wedding. If you can't afford
everything on your list you should at least be
able to afford the most important.
-
Make
sure your wedding planner works for you. They
can help you negotiate price and options in your
favor.
-
Look
for a company that will give you a detailed
itemized contract.
-
In
most cases, select a wedding planner that is
located in the area of your wedding. They are
much more familiar with the quality and pricing
of vendors in that area.
-
Look
for a company that will let you go to a wedding
and watch them set it up. Keep in mind, you are
not allowed to stay for the wedding.
-
Look
for a company that will let you sample food and
will show you samples of what you will be
getting from the vendors. You want no surprises
on your wedding day!
-
Look
for a company that will give you referrals.
Questions to ask when selecting a business in this industry:
-
How many weddings have you done?
-
How many weddings have you
planned in my theme?
-
Do you have a specialty?
-
Is this your full time
profession?
-
Do you have a physical Location?
-
How many wedding packages do you
have?
-
Do you have a multitude of vendors to
choose from?
-
What is your payment policy?
-
What is your cancellation
policy?
-
Are you licensed and insured?
-
Inquire about your wedding
planner's years of experience, samples of their
work, and their packages and rates?
-
Will you work within my budget?
-
Will you let me call referrals?
